Summary
Memory for our own personal experiences comprises episodic memory. Episodic memory in people is characterized by multiple events and the sequential order of such events. Here, I summarize research that suggests that rats remember multiple events and the sequential order of events. These studies focus on remembering items-in-context and the replay of episodic memories. Next, I explore connections between episodic memory and hippocampal replay. Finally, I explore open questions for future research. The approaches described here may be used to explore the evolution of cognition.
